Fun Bike

"I'm 57 years old and live in the Rockies at 6200 feet.(Less oxygen and LOTS of hills). I hadn't ridden a bike in over 20 years, as I hated handbrakes, and having to worry about shifting all the time took all the fun out of it.

"I saw an ad for this bike in AARP. It is perfect for a baby boomer like me. I ride the way people do in the UK. This is more like a second car, good for the environment, and just a lot of fun, very easy to ride, I especially love the auto-shift. "
